“Emma helped out at the last minute when the original plan fell through and I needed someone before an important weekend out of town! She took great care of Finley and he was extremely happy!”

“Amanda did a great job taking care of our three needy dogs while we were out of town. She provided quick responses and lots of picture updates. We have already booked with her again.”

“Miranda was excellent with our senior dog and took great care of him. She made sure he was well fed, got his potty breaks, and had plenty of time for his naps. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone. I would highly recommend Miranda and her outstanding care.”

“Susan was absolutely outstanding in every way! She followed all instructions and spent lots of time with our dog. She went above and beyond! We will definitely book with her anytime we go out of town. 10/10”

“Janice was amazing while taking care of Nacho and house sitting. Updated and pics were frequent and reassuring. House and Nacho were well taken care of. Will definitely look to book again. Thank you Janice!”

“Casey took wonderful care of our furry ones; especially our dog, Crowley! We will certainly request their assistance again and recommend whenever we can!”

“I will NEVER go to any other for dog sitting. Brooke gave me so many updates and went above and beyond in my household. I was a little crazy and wrote like a ten page booklet on taking care of my dog and she actually read the whole thing! Haha my house was spotless, my dog was tired (and so happy) and my nerves were calmed. Seriously 10/10, she's basically family now”

“Ben is literally the BEST!!! Blue loves his boy time with him when I got out of town. He gives me daily updates and pictures. I know Blue is safe with Ben and my heart couldnt be more happy!!”

“Tyler was amazing! The pups didn’t seem to miss us at all. She was attentive and provided photos frequently without any prompt. Will definitely be using her again for our pups.”

“Yolena was a life saver and was able to watch my cat even though the request was very last minute. She kept me updated and sent pictures letting me know how my cat was doing. Great communication as well! Highly recommend!”

“Katie was wonderful! The animals (1 cat and 1 senior dog) did very well and she provided updates while I was on vacation so I didn't have to worry. She was very responsive to my texts and took great care of the house too. Even went the extra mile and did the laundry from the bed she slept in! I will definitely book her again!”

About: I can manage diverse dog personalities and needs. Being patient with dogs of all sizes and ages. Dedicated to keeping them safe and happy! *Mostly dealt with large dog breeds Im currently a full time student with mainly morning classes, so I am available to care for your pets on weekdays typically after 4, and on weekends! I always clearly communicate expectations, worries and goals with pet parents before watching/walking the pet and continue to communicate as needed throughout the day to ensure your satisfaction and ease any potential worries!
About: I am a grad student working toward my M.S.Ed in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and love animals. I grew up with 1 dog and 4 cats! In addition to pet sitting I volunteer at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton where I walk dogs and socialize cats. I have references I would be happy to provide and would treat your animal(s) as my own. I hope you will take the opportunity to book me and let me love on your animals! As a cat owner, I am used to getting up early to feed my cat and being home to feed her for dinner. I have a flexible work schedule and work from home some days so I am able to structure my day around your pet’s needs. I would prioritize the routine that you and your animals are used to following! I respect you and your animal’s space and want you to feel comfortable leaving your pets with me while away. I am always a phone call or message away and happy to send countless updates and photos of your animals!
About: I’ve always had small dogs — it’s kind of a family tradition. (Mostly Chihuahuas… if you’ve met one, you know exactly what that means! 🥴😝) I also walk my aunt’s dog, who’s a little bigger, and I’m usually the one friends call when they need someone to care for their pets — dogs or cats — while they’re away. After 13+ years in retail (yes, at Old Navy — and no, it’s not like the commercials 😅), I realized my real passion has always been spending time with animals. I’m kind, patient, and protective, and I genuinely enjoy giving pets the time, affection, and attention they deserve. So if you’re looking for someone dependable who will treat your pets like family — I’m your person. (And hey, if your pets have tiny wardrobes, I’m great at folding those too! 😝) I’m currently working full-time in retail, but I’m hoping to transition into pet care full-time. My goal is to establish regular clients so I can eventually dedicate all my time to caring for dogs and cats. For now, I’m flexible with my retail schedule and happy to work around it to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and loved. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine — feeding schedule, favorite toys, walks, and any special needs or habits. If I’m watching pets in a client’s home, I make sure to keep things consistent with their normal routine so they feel relaxed. I give plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention, and I always keep food and water areas clean. I also send photo updates so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. If I’m caring for animals in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment — secure spaces for cats to explore, comfy spots for naps, and safe outdoor time (if allowed). I treat every pet as if they’re my own, because that’s what I’d want for my animals too. While my own yard is smaller and perfect for my small dogs, my sister has a much larger yard, and she’s given me full access to her home and property whenever needed. That means I have plenty of safe space available for bigger dogs to play and get the exercise they need.
“Dorothy has a very sweet and kind spirit. She is excellent with communication and she is willing to go above and beyond to make your pets feel comfortable. We truly appreciate Dorothy hanging out with our Gracie, Mitty and Indie this wekened!!”

“Kristy did a fantastic job sitting for our dogs. She kept them on their routine and our dogs warmed up to her so fast! She is a true professional and we highly recommend her.”

“Isabella did fantastic with our two dogs. Our oldest is usually fairly easy but our puppy is still a handful and she did a wonderful job. We got walk and picture updates regularly and she had excellent communication throughout the situation. Thanks so much!”

Springfield pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marin was so sweet, polite, and great with our 2 pups! She provided daily updates and photos which greatly eased my anxiety while away! She was responsive, adaptable and a true help. She stayed in our home and took great care of that, too! I would highly recommend Marin :)

We hired Amanda to housesit our three dogs for 10 days. She was awesome to say the least. We have three English Toy Spaniels and the youngest one is very standoffish. Amanda was cuddling with her by day two. She sent us photo updates and reached out with any questions. She even reached out with an alternate plan should the power go out in our home, due to a snow storm that was scheduled to hit while we were away. We really appreciated her forward thinking on this matter. Having Amanda watching our pups and home really put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely be hiring Amanda again and would highly recommend her.
Janice stayed at our house for a weekend taking care of our 16 year old miniature poodle Toby. She was very attentive to his needs and kept us abreast of any changes. She sent us pictures of Toby throughout the weekend. We would definitely recommend Janice to other pet owners and hope to use her again in the future.

Leesa was a perfect choice to take care of Roxie while I was out of town. Sent pictures where Roxie and Leesa were both happy. Leesa coming to my place works best for Roxie’s anxiety because she’s in her home. Leesa kept everything clean and tidy too. I will definitely request Leesa’s service’s again. Thank you Leesa for being a great match for Roxie.

Danielle was a FANTASTIC dog sitter. She took wonderful care of our puppy while we were gone. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond by being available for an extra day at the last minute and also by administering ear infection medication for our dog. She was very good about giving us updates and our house somehow looked better after she had stayed here. We plan to use her again for future dog sitting needs and walks. So happy to have found such a wonderful person to watch our pets. Thanks again, Danielle!

We are so glad to have found Brooke! She went above and beyond for our three senior dogs and made us feel totally at ease. She kept us updated with photos, videos, and notes everyday. We got home to a clean house and happy dogs. She was great with our instructions for the medications for the dogs and they all got exercise throughout the week. We’d highly recommend her!

Gracie did a fantastic job taking care of my 3 boys. She regularly sent me updates and reached out if she had any questions. She also tidied up my place before she left which was by no means expected but was so, so appreciated! I definitely look forward to booking her again when I need a sitter next!

Molly was great with Jersey! This is my first time using this app and I was worried about leaving Jersey behind. Molly did a great job communicating and sending pictures and updates. I felt at ease and was able to enjoy my time away. I will use Molly for any future needs!! Thanks again :)

Jadyn was our first dog sitter experience and we couldn’t be happier. We had so much anxiety going on vacation with a brand new puppy. Jadyn had a metal fencing for him, sent pictures and videos of him going on his very first walk and put our worries at ease. We’ll definitely use her again and would recommend her services. We appreciate making our vacation so much for relaxing. ☺️
